I have no idea where to start with the local music scene. When I lived back West, I somehow knew enough people that I would go to house shows, underground venues etc. Best concert I ever went to was at a place called "The Hole," which was the basement of a house in West Oakland. Killed by gentrification now. If you got ideas on how to find smaller shows lmk

I can't help with underground shows but it seems like there are a bunch of small venues that have shows several nights a week (Atwood's, Lilypad, Lizard Lounge, etc.). I just wish there was one calendar where you could find all the listings instead of needing to hop between all their sites

Most venues keep a calendar of their own schedule. I know both Plough & Stars and Cantab both do. Just check their websites or stop by and ask.

Bands in town (.com) does a decent job of listing those smaller shows
